Farming voices

What do farmers really think?

10th May 2024

From climate and nature to health and community, farming connects to the things people care about. At the same time, farming in the UK is at a crossroads – with a healthy food and farming future in the balance.

Our new #FarmingVoices series asks farmers what they really think. In the first film, Harriet Bell, Patrick Holden, Helen Browning, Gavin Lane, Nic Renison, David Hill, Debbie Wilkins and John Cherry tell us more about the work they do – and why farming is often about so much more than producing food.

In the second film, the same group of farmers share their perspectives on what real food security means to them. Why is resilience so important?

In our third #FarmingVoices film, farmers Ben Andrews, Sarah Langford, Liz Genever, Tom Pearson, John Pawsey and Richard Heady tell us more about why they think it's important farmers produce healthy food and what's needed to encourage healthier, more sustainable supply chains in food.
